Our speaker on Friday, December 13, 2024, is Bernie Friel: Bernie Friel, a St. Paul lawyer and award-winning nature photographer, shares a remarkable tale of resilience and passion.

He dedicated himself to a healthier lifestyle, embracing running, mindful eating, and thrilling adventure travel.
A Life of Excess (in a Good Way): With the motto “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing to excess,” Friel immersed himself in his passions. He became a skilled mountain climber, conquering Mount Rainier and Kilimanjaro and seeking new challenges well into his 80s. His adventures have included river rafting, backpacking, kayaking, and exploring remote wilderness areas.
More Than Just a Survivor: Beyond his physical accomplishments, Friel’s story inspires and motivates. His presentation will delve into the profound changes he made to his life, the lessons he learned along the way, and how anyone can cultivate a more fulfilling and vibrant existence.
